79. Tree Pipit. Anthus trivia/is. 



Not uncommon near Larnaca in the latter half of April^ 

 1875. *. 



80. Meadow Pipit. Anthus pratensis. 



Not uncommon in tlie plains near the coast in A])ril ; 

 obtained by Guillemard in January, February, and March, 

 and by Pearse in November. *. 



81. Red-throated Pjpit. Anthus cervinus. 



Perhaps more frequent than the last species in similar 

 localities, but never, in my experience, very far from the sea, 

 in April and May. *. 



8.2. Tawny Pipit. Anthus can/pestris. 



I shot one of this species close to the walls of Larnaca on 

 the afternoon of our arrival in the roadstead, April 16, 1875, 

 but have no other record of this Pipit from Cyprus. *. L. 



83. Water Pipit. Anthus spipoletta. 



I shot a female of this species in the Aqueduct marsh 

 near Larnaca, on April 21, 1875, in the nuptial plumage, and 

 Guillemard brought home a male in winter dress obtained 

 at the great Akrotiri salt lake on January 5, 1888. This is 

 the only species of Anthus mentioned in Unger and Kotschy's 

 list. I have called this bird IVater Pipit in deference to 

 established usage ; but Alpine or Mountain Pipit would be a 

 far more distinctive and appropriate name, as indicating the 

 usual breeding-habits of the species. I may mention that 

 the only Pipit seen by me upon the little island of Standia 

 off the town of Candia or Palteocastro in Crete was of this 

 species. *. 



84. Sky Lark. Alauda arvensis. 



Exceedingly abundant in the low country in April and 

 May, 1875, and obtained by Guillemard in February and 

 ]\larch 1887 and 1888. *. 



85. Wood Lark. Alauda arborea. 



I heard and saw Wood Lai-ks more than once in the Karpas 

 district in April, Pearse obtained specimens in November, and
